REVIEW
Optimizing antiretroviral regimens in chronic kidney disease.
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases 2019 Februrary
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To identify recent data that inform the management of individuals with HIV and chronic kidney disease.
RECENT FINDINGS: Several nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase, protease, and integrase strand transfer inhibitors inhibit tubular creatinine secretion resulting in stable reductions in creatinine clearance of 5-20 ml/min in the absence of other manifestations of kidney injury. Progressive renal tubular dysfunction is observed with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in clinical trials, and more rapid decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate in cohort studies of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and atazanavir, with stabilization, improvement or recovery of kidney function upon discontinuation. Results from clinical trials of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) in individuals with chronic kidney disease suggest that TAF is well tolerated in those with mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance >30 ml/min) but results in very high tenofovir exposures in those on haemodialysis.
SUMMARY: Standard antiretroviral regimens remain appropriate for individuals with normal and/or stable, mildly impaired kidney function. In those with chronic kidney disease or progressive decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate, antiretrovirals with nephrotoxic potential should be avoided or discontinued. Although TAF provides a tenofovir formulation for individuals with impaired kidney function, TAF is best avoided in those with severe or end-stage kidney disease.
